Lmackattack Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 the E9 (V8) had a engine brake set up option. not shure if they are still availible from mack?The V8s have a diffrent exhaust note than the 6 cyls and yes they do sound like they are miss fireing. I never liked the flutter sound but many others do. If you dont have a vibration im shure its running fine. The one thing I do like about them E9s is the power that they had. Compared to todays engines a good running E9 can still pull with the best of them. I belive in the US 500HP was the highest rated E9 availible. over in the out back they had higher HP ratings so if your still not happy at 400HP you could easly squeez some more power out of your "de-tuned" 400HP E9Welcome to the site Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2814-400-v8-superliner/#findComment-13718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Your best bet is to get some good used rockers and push tubes for a dynatard setup!The dynatard is built into the cam lobe and all the cams were the same .

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 To the best of my knowledge no one makes a jake for the e-9's. Your stuck with a dynatard. You gotta love the locomotive sound of a V-8!!!!!!!!!! Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.
